About Dr Pankaj Kushwaha — best Orthopaedic Surgeon in Daltonganj
Dr. Pankaj Kushwaha (MBBS; MS Orthopaedics) practices at Aashi Care Hospital’s Orthopaedics & Spine department in Daltonganj. Although early in his career, Dr Kushwaha brings focused surgical training in trauma and reconstructive orthopaedics, treating compound and open fractures, performing ORIF and participating in joint replacement care pathways with senior consultants.
He manages the full fracture care pathway — from emergency stabilisation and imaging to operative fixation, inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient follow-up. Dr Kushwaha works closely with physiotherapy and pain-management teams to design recovery plans that prioritise early mobility and return to activities.

- Need Assistance?
Yes — he manages emergency stabilisation, wound care and definitive fixation (ORIF or external fixation) depending on the injury.
ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) is a surgical method to realign bone fragments and fix them with plates, screws or rods. It’s used for displaced, unstable or complex fractures.
Healing depends on fracture type and patient factors. Typical radiographic healing for long-bone fractures is 8–12 weeks, with functional recovery continuing thereafter. Your surgeon will advise follow-up timelines.
Aashi Care provides joint replacement services. Dr Kushwaha supports arthroplasty care pathways (pre-op and post-op) and assists senior arthroplasty surgeons; for complex replacements, consult the arthroplasty lead.
Many major insurers and government programs are accepted. Confirm pre-authorization and coverage with the Insurance Desk before admission.
